RIDDOR compliance support
Advice on whether the relevant reporting criteria are met and who should report.
An accident report should explain more than what happened.
How your school responds to an incident matters to those affected, to future prevention and to the evidence of leadership control.

WHERE THE EXPOSURE LIES
Could you answer these questions with confidence?
A weak investigation can miss contributing causes, repeat the same recommendations and leave the underlying risk unchanged. It can also make it harder to demonstrate that your school responded appropriately.
- Have you gathered reliable information and preserved relevant evidence?
- Does the investigation examine underlying causes as well as the immediate event?
- Have reporting requirements been assessed correctly?
- Will the corrective actions reduce the likelihood of recurrence?
Investigate properly. Respond proportionately. Evidence the learning.

Most school incidents are not reportable to HSE under RIDDOR. Reporting depends on the person affected, the injury or event, and its connection with work. Internal recording and proportionate investigation remain useful even where a RIDDOR report is not required.
